Thought I would post this in case it’s useful. My LCD has a green PCB and it came with a red tab on the screen proctector and seems to use the Epson controller.

I ordered one of these before Christmas and had problems getting it working. The example at http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/SFE_lcd_driver_c.zip sort of worked - I could just see the “Hello World”. However it was very washed out. After a bit of experimentation I have found that setting the first parameter of the DISPCTL command to 0x0C (instead of 0x00) fixes the problem.

I’ve also tried the gLCD library (https://github.com/TCWORLD/gLCD-Library.git) and that seems to work as well with the above fix.
